Based on the novel by Mordecai Richler, and directed, like his Duddy Kravitz, by Ted Kotcheff: on the apparent principle that if lightning came close once, it might come closer next time.

Unexciting, to say nothing of unfrightening, adaptation of an Eric Ambler thriller: the baroque style of Orson Welles generates vague malaise easier than thrills. Officially credited to Norman Foster (who directed some good films, the better of them, such as Rachel and the Stranger, in a plainer-spun, squarer-shouldered style), it …
Early American historical piece that shares the attributes — modesty, stolidness, benevolence — of its reluctant hero, a simple Carolina farmer and widower ("I am not one for big adventures") who conducts a fugitive slave girl on a clippity-clop, low-speed flight to freedom. Also like the hero (Jason Patric), it …
